But when the girls start talking about boys, bras, and getting their first periods, Margaret starts to wonder if she’s normal.

Editorial Review

A beloved coming-of-age story from the equally beloved author Judy Blume, Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret is as relevant and memorable today as it was in 1970 when it was first released.

Judy Blume, the author of such bestsellers as Summer Sisters and The Edge of Seventeen, is revered as one of the most loved writers of relatable middle-grade and young-adult fiction. Her stories are a trove of preteen angst and Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret is no exception. Margaret Simon is an almost 12-year-old sixth grader who has just moved from New York City to the suburbs of New Jersey. Raised by Christian and Jewish parents, she sets out to explore her religious identity as she grapples with getting her first bra, menstruation and making new friends. As Margaret's family goes through their issues, the story unfolds in deeply relatable, funny and moving ways.

More than 50 years after the book's release, the film adaptation of Are You There God? It's Me, Margaret, from Lionsgate, directed by Kelly Fremon Craig, is being released in 2023. The film stars Rachel McAdams as Margaret's mother, Barbara Simon; Kathy Bates as her paternal Grandmother, Sylvia Simon; Benny Safdie as her father, Herb Simon; and Abby Ryder Fortson as Margaret.

Margaret's relationships with characters like Laura Danker, Moose, Gretchen, and Nancy Wheeler make this story a beloved tale of the first times, angst, loneliness, and innocence that comes with adolescence. This audiobook, narrated by Laura Hamilton, is the ideal way to introduce this story to a new generation needing Judy Blume's brilliance.

Many people equate "growing up" with "growing serious." But while interests may change over time, age does not have to be the deciding factor in what games you play, movies, or books you enjoy. Young adult novels are the perfect example of this. Though written with a teenage audience in mind, women of all ages are sure to enjoy the genre’s hallmarks: strong yet flawed characters, heartbreaking twists and turns, romance, and drama.
